Accomodation within reach of Chambery

Unfortunately driving to the Alps (my previous thread) is out of the question, as our car has recently revealed it's not up to the task!

I've found flights and car hire to get us somewhere, but as we're looking to arrive next week for unusual dates it's a little tricky.

We'll be arriving in Chambery Tuesday 28th December, and leaving Friday 7th January...

A 2+2 family, we're looking to learn to ski, but I'm well aware the wife and son may not take to it so ideally somewhere near a resort with other things to do.

Suggestions would be gratefully received! :)

This might help to start your search ......

Yeah, I'm searching each resort at a time, but there are dozens to choose from!

I've emailed the ChaletGroup as well.

Plenty of people viewing, although not posting, so I'll give an update:

I used TripAdvisor to make enquiries at seven chalets, and got a partial positive. Booked the first part of the stay through booking.com.

We've now got five days self catering in an apartment in Combloux, near Megeve, and five days in a catered chalet in Planchamp, near Bourg St Moritz.

Boy, I'm happy we've got this holiday booked. :D

With the driving between them , if nothing else we'll have seen a lot of the alps in our first family ski holiday!

Whilst the chalet owner is offering plenty of help in Bourg, I'm struggling to find a way to book skis, skiing lessons and so forth in Combloux, so any advice or help would be - as usual - gratefully received :)
